i must be compensating for the abundance of rain via the dyepots. everything has been emerging bright!
i only hope my artistic pleas will be heard by mother nature! in our garden, what wasn’t washed away, is totally waterlogged. (i blame improper tilling. *cough* matt.) anyway, lack of sunshine = poor pictures! but, hey i’ll subject you to them anyway. (and who knows if i’ll even be able to post this, because my host’s DB servers are down… how do i know this? well, surely not by getting a hold of them on the phone, i’ve been calling for the past.. er, good while, and i keep getting “all circuts are busy”.. now, they must have 3.5 people there anwsering phones, since there aren’t that many sites on my server… but, yea, i can ftp, so on with it.)

as i said, poor pictures aren’t going to stop me from posting! ha!

pansy
96 yards bulky thick and thin.

and her counterpart

pansy
thick and thin, hi/lo
plied with a wool, nylon, silk sari single.. from these here batts
120 yards

and for fun! a family photo! (of the pansies, not us)

and if that isn’t bright enough!

pinwheel
(honestly i was going for my ‘first rays of the new rising sun’ colorway here, but, as i said, my subconscious is making things bright!)
80% superwash wool
20% nylon
4oz
500 yards

and a roving to match

a good many ounces there, i’m not sure what i’m going to do with this one yet; at it has 2 spots of undesirable (IMHO) bleed, good enough for me to deal with, but i’m unsure anyone else would be happy with it. who knows, since my opinion is almost always off.
(speaking of my opinion… ok! well i won’t get that into it, but, i was shocked and horrified to accidentally catch some of shrub’s.. er, whatever that was, last night. when you are not prepared to see that ugly thing on the teevee, it really shocks the system. newsvine is all a flutter with it, my politics tag has 200 new entries just since this am. this person needs to be stopped! how much more damage can we suffer.?.. please, some sister, do your country a favor, sport a dental dam. please.)

today begins my plotting and scheming to get myself (sans kiddlets) to fiber frolic i’m using the argument (in my brain) that it will cost as much in gas as it will to ship my yarn there… i can’t possibly wait until VTS&W for another fiber fest. (speaking of fests, i posted a pic on my flickr of the poodle sheep!! that i mentioned yesterday.)

i’m seriously considering permenatley changing my wed. update day to thursdays. nothing in this weather is wanting to dry.(and, well, i need to have stuff wet first, before it can dry… and i’ve been just a tad overloaded this week.) we’ll see how much is done by the am…

now off to find my coffee, i put it down someplace or other, and it has gone MIA. (it was the last clean mug too!!)
